FIDE All Play All Gradings

[Mike Scott]

Yes that was part of the question but the main point was about the fact that FIDE appears to grade APA events differently than SWISS and was wondering DB could confirm this. It just struck me as odd that in these FIDE events FIDE ungraded players are assigned grades based I assume on their performance that weekend in contrast to the graded players grade. These grade estimates are then also used by CS for grading purposes. If it had been a SWISS the results would have been ignored.

I would think that actually this approach (assigning grades) is probably fairer than simply disregarding the result but it seems like an anomaly.
